Ingredients

Main Ingredients

  • 2 tablespoons olive oil, divided
  • 1 pound boneless skinless chicken breasts, cut into 1-inch pieces
  • Salt and fresh ground black pepper, to taste
  • ½ teaspoon garlic powder
  • ½ teaspoon onion powder
  • ½ teaspoon dried thyme
  • ½ teaspoon dried rosemary
  • ½ teaspoon paprika
  • ¼ to ½ teaspoon chili powder
  • 1 small yellow onion, thinly sliced
  • 3 cups bite-size broccoli florets
  • 1 medium zucchini, thinly sliced and cut into half-moons
  • 1 small yellow bell pepper, cut into 1-inch chunks
  • 1 small red bell pepper, cut into 1-inch chunks
  • ¼ cup low sodium chicken broth (you can also use dry white wine, apple juice, or water)
  • Chopped fresh parsley, for garnish

Method

Preparation

  • Cut the chicken into 1-inch pieces, season with salt and pepper, and set it aside.
  • In a small bowl, mix together the garlic powder, onion powder, thyme, rosemary, paprika, and chili powder. Sprinkle half of the seasoning mix over the chicken.
  • Drizzle ½ tablespoon of olive oil over the chicken, tossing it to coat evenly.

Cooking

  • Heat 1 tablespoon of olive oil in a large 12-inch skillet over medium-high heat. Add the chicken and cook for 6 to 8 minutes, turning occasionally, until it is browned and fully cooked.
  • Transfer the chicken to a plate, cover, and set aside.
  • Return the skillet to the stove and heat the remaining olive oil. Add the onions and cook for 2 minutes.
  • Then, add the broccoli, zucchini, and peppers. If needed, add a little more oil. Season with the rest of the spice mix, along with salt and pepper, and cook for 4 to 6 minutes, stirring occasionally, until the vegetables are crisp-tender.
  • Pour in the chicken broth and stir to combine.
  • Return the cooked chicken and its juices to the skillet, stir everything together, and cook for another minute.
  • Remove from heat, taste, and adjust seasoning if needed.
  • Garnish with parsley and serve.
